Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune

"Ghost... ghost..."

"He's pretending to be dead..."

The maids keeping vigil stared wide-eyed at the commotion inside the coffin, then ran out of the mourning hall in a panic.

They fled in all directions, shouting as they ran.

This provoked the dogs in Wuyi Lane to bark incessantly, their barks rising and falling in a continuous stream.

The concubines and wives who were sleeping soundly with their husbands suddenly woke up and clung tightly to their husbands.

"Husband, wake up! Is it some kind of evil spirit...? It's said that Miss Jiang's birth chart was weak, making her prone to attracting evil spirits, and she died so young..."

There is a folk belief that it is unlucky for a child to die young and that they cannot be buried in the ancestral grave, as it would disrupt the feng shui.

Some say it's punishment for sins committed in a past life.

The husbands, fast asleep, patted their wives in their arms and muttered a few words, "With your husband here, what evil spirits would dare to come to our door?"

"How about we invite a sorcerer to perform a ritual tomorrow?"

"Please do as you please..."

It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist.

Many families didn't sleep well that night.

Everyone in Jiang Miaomiao's family slept soundly, and she had her maid make a lot of earplugs out of fine cloth.

One was given to each person in the family, and some were also sent to the Cui family.

At first, everyone thought it was just little kids playing around, but when the barking continued incessantly in the middle of the night...

These earplugs came in handy.

Jiang Zijin used all her strength to push open the coffin lid, only to realize with a start that she was actually sitting inside the coffin.

I was so scared I almost lost my mind...

"what……"

Qi Caiwei stumbled in, and when she saw her daughter, she froze on the spot.

"Mother, it's me, Jin'er! Quickly, take me out of the coffin!" Jiang Zijin had already stood up from the coffin.

Unfortunately, it was too high inside, and she couldn't get down. She cried and begged her mother to carry her down.

The maids dared not approach.

Mei Gu stepped forward and hugged her tightly. No matter what it was, the girl in front of her was her daughter.

Granny Gong watched from outside the door, her eyebrows twitching.

Such a thing can happen in the world! A person who has been dead for a day can actually come back to life!

How evil!

This matter needs to be reported to the capital...

The next morning.

The entire Wuyi Lane was enveloped in the sound of firecrackers.

At this moment, after experiencing that nightmare, Jiang Zijin's memories of her past life became increasingly clear.

It's like being reborn.

She was destined for great wealth and honor; it must have been Heaven's favor that allowed her to be reborn once again.

She drank the porridge in big gulps, trying to recover as quickly as possible.

Having been reborn, she had a better understanding of what happened in her previous life than others.

She is confident that she will not repeat the same mistake this time.

Qi Caiwei held her daughter, who had come back from the dead.

Crying with joy.

The sound of firecrackers was surprisingly pleasant to hear.

"Aunt Mei, has the news that Jin'er is still alive been released?"

"The news has already been given to the storyteller. All the white items in the mansion have been removed and replaced with red ones." With the New Year approaching, there's nothing wrong with changing them to red.

Mei Gu secretly glanced at Granny Gong.

If she hadn't had people hang white banners and bring a coffin so early on, such a ridiculous situation wouldn't have happened.

This caused the Third Sister to lose all her reputation.

Qi Caiwei was very pleased to hear this. Her daughter was alive, and those rumors were dispelled.

Once this matter has passed, we'll find someone to spread the word, saying that Zijing is blessed with good fortune and a life destined for great wealth and honor.

She can still find a good family.

"Aunt Mei, why don't you go set off some firecrackers to get rid of the bad luck..."

"Madam, this..."

Mei hesitated, unsure how to tell her mistress that she was currently in a good mood.

I didn't want to discourage her.

Granny Gong stepped forward, "Madam Ru... perhaps it's best to refrain from..."

"Right now, every household in Wuyi Lane has hired a Taoist priest to perform exorcisms, which is why they're setting off firecrackers... If we set them off now, outsiders will think that the mansion is also exorcising evil spirits."

"Cough cough cough..."

Jiang Zijin almost choked to death on the porridge.

Qi Caiwei was so angry that she leaned back.

Looking at Aunt Mei and Granny Gong in disbelief, she exclaimed, "What did you say? They're exorcising evil spirits!"

"My daughter is alive and well, what kind of evil spirits did they exorcise?"

Mei Gu dared not speak, and looked at Granny Gong.

Qi Caiwei and her daughter also looked at Granny Gong, "Why don't you say something!"

Granny Gong swallowed hard and said slowly, "Everyone thought that the Third Miss's resurrection was very strange, and they became even more certain that the girl's birth chart was inauspicious... So... before dawn, every family went to Qingyun Temple and invited a Taoist priest to perform a ritual."

"All the Taoists from Qingyun Temple have arrived..."

Qi Caiwei fainted from anger and was carried back to the house by Aunt Mei. "Quick...fetch a doctor, quickly fetch a doctor..."

The bowl in Jiang Zijin's hand fell to the ground, and the soup soaked the bedding.

He vomited up everything he had just eaten.

What kind of birth chart is considered inauspicious?

How could her birth chart be unlucky?

Which prince's attendant would have an inauspicious birth chart? A person with a bad birth chart wouldn't even be allowed to get close to the prince.

She's destined to be an empress!

"Spreading rumors...slander..."

"Someone must be trying to harm me. It must have been the Lu family who spread this!"

Looking at the cold and stern-faced girl, Granny Gong felt a chill run down her spine and said indifferently, "It was the Taoist priest who performed the ritual for the Cui family that spread the word."

"The Cui family!"

Jiang Zijin was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped to the ground.

The Cui family would actually do such a thing!

The young maid stumbled in, "Miss, the officials are here... they want to see Madam..."

There was also a knock on Jiang Miaomiao's door.

The gatekeeper who opened the door was a gift to Jiang Miaomiao's family along with the house.

"Is Madam Lu here? Someone has accused her of murdering her own child, and we are ordered to bring her back to the yamen for questioning." The doorway was filled with officials.

"Please wait a moment, sir!"

The gatekeeper panicked and quickly sent a maid from the inner courtyard to report.

Before long, Jiang Miaomiao and her family came out unhurriedly and followed the officials to the government office.

Prefect Qin recognized Lu Qingyao at a glance.

The Cui family's empty house was suddenly inhabited, and as the prefect, she naturally had to investigate the matter thoroughly.

"Someone, bring a seat for Lady Lu."

Lu Qingyao curtsied and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency. I will remain standing."

Qi Caiwei was carried in a sedan chair and was helped forward by Mei Gu.

The gavel struck.

"Who are you below? Why do you not kneel before me?"

"I am an official's wife, the daughter of Minister Qi, and the concubine of the Vice Minister of Rites..." Qi Caiwei said proudly.

No one would not want to curry favor with her father.

Prefect Qin's face darkened. "So what if they are officials' wives? Do they have imperial titles?"

"A mere concubine, without rank or imperial title, can't even kneel before an official... Or is this how Minister Qi taught you to be so arrogant?"

Qi Caiwei felt a mouthful of blood choke in her chest and glared fiercely at Lu Qingyao.

Could it be that the prefect is also protecting this woman?

She felt that the prefect seemed to be deliberately targeting her...
